Ugly Dips make the Best Dips

After over 10 years of blogging and tens of thousands of photos taken and advertised I have learned one thing- y’all, the audience, don’t always care if the pictures are perfect. If the lighting is right. If something is a little overexposed or not sharp enough.

What you want is a solid, delicious recipe idea that is easy, doesn’t break the bank, and tastes great. And throughout the years I have had far more amazing recipes than crappy ones.

But here is the thing- some food is just freaking UGLY. Casseroles, dips, heck anything that involves beef, but its also some of the BEST food. So I am going to try to let my personal need to only put out pictures that are awesome and instead share with you some of my normal day to day life that doesn’t include set ups, but rather real cooking experiences.

And I hope that you come along with my adventures, forgive me for the “non-professional” imagery and give these homemade recipes a shot.

How to make Beef Enchilada Dip

1. Brown up ground beef (or ground sausage) with chopped onions until meat is done. Feel free to drain grease if you have to much in your cast iron pan. I buy lean meats so I typically do not have a lot to drain out and like the extra flavor fat can bring.
2. Season ground beef with garlic salt, cumin and a bit of pepper (optional). I have suggested measurements on these spices, but you can add more or less depending on your taste buds.
3. Pour in one can of enchilada sauce and combine everything together in the pan. Heat and stir well.
4. Add 1/3rd cup sour cream into the enchilada mixture and stir until melted.
5. Add 2 cups of shredded cheese, continue stirring so as not to burn, until completely melted.
6. Serve dip with tortilla chips or broken taco shells.
